Good News, Bad News Sortof Week

Good I completed my three months of nut visits on Thursday and Friday got my sleep apnea paperwork sent to the surgeon. Bad news -- I also saw a cardiologist on Friday I need a stress test before I can be cleared. Between that and the card's follow up appt which isn't until mid July. I cannot schedule my surgeon appt nor the surgery until after mid-July! Which means no surgery until late August or even september ! Arrggh. I know the surgery needs to be safe but I am so disappointed by the delay.

Sorry about the delay. It can be SO frustrating. Once you make the decision to have the surgery, you want it NOW...er, more like yesterday! Your day will come soon. Just focus on getting as healthy as you can right now. Any pounds you can lose now are pounds that you don't gave to lose after the surgery. Really, you've already started your sleeve journey.

Hang in there!!

I went through the same process. Even had to have an angiogram because the stress test wasn't conclusive. It seems like it will never end but it does

I had my surgery on June 6 and already have dropped 6 lbs.

It is worth the wait!

I can totally relate. When they told me 6 months, I balked. After I thought about it, I realized it was a tremendous opportunity to get myself into the mindset I knew I'd have to be in to make this work.
